So by now Im going to assume that most people have heard of this er- "revolution" called Operation Rainfall. Its a bunch of Nintendo fans who are pissed that three games arent being localized here in North America. They feel Nintendo has abandoned the Wii and are annoyed by the lack of games that are coming out for it in its final months.

I feel for them. Its annoying when you dont get to experience something many others around the world are experiencing. Since it is already localized for Europe, I can see why they would be even more mad.

But here is why it annoys me. These games came out a while ago. Theyre not exactly the newest. They are RPGs that look like some high caliber PS2 games. It makes me wonder, Do the people so in need of these three games not have any other options? You have played every Wii game there is available? Do you know other game consoles exist (I know money may be an issue but..). Its really embarrassing to me. Its Nintendo. If we all revolted every time they did something stupid, they would have mounds of letters dating back to 2005 saying things like "THAT'S the controller?" "ITS CALLED WHAT?!" "Give us HD!"

They are just videogames, OP Rainfall people. I know that sounds stupid, being as I game nonstop, base most of my spending around games, and write a freaking blog on a gaming site. Its just not a big deal.

You guys have gathered thousands of followers for your "movement" to release some videogames. Imagine if you gathered that many supporters to protest something worthwhile? Imagine using your leadership skills to have letter writing campaigns to senators or other politicians to make some real changes, not to get some 7-out-of-10s released.

There are starving children in orphanages all over Africa. There are mass abduction of children in Africa to turn them into child-soldiers. A huge chuck of Japan is in turmoil. New Orleans isnt fixed. Women still dont get 100% of the same rights as men.

Going so out of the way and getting so hardcore to have some games come out here is selfish, stupid, and a fucking embarrassment.

please feel free to agree or disagree. comments are very welcome. I would love to discuss this with you guys.

You know what I mean! Every now and then, there will be a super awesome game that I somehow do not play. I dont know what causes this phenomena, but it just happens.

I feel especially bad that I didn't play Knights of the Old Republic when it originally came out on Xbox. Of course, back then I was a lot younger and wasn't into RPGs of any nature. I still have yet to play it, and I am either going to play it on the Mac, and make it my first real computer gaming experience, or I will buy a used copy for Xbox, making it my first used game experience.

Secondly, I didn't play The World Ends With You on DS. I have heard great, amazing things about it, but I just never got around to buying it. Still want to play it though!

So what did you miss out on? Let me know in the comments! And once again, thanks for all of the comments and follows I have been getting!

Maybe I'm missing something, but first, I will say that The Mercenaries is a great part of both Resident Evil 4 and 5. Its fun, and gives you something to do once you finish the main game. It can actually get quite addictive.

The thing I don't understand is the price point. While a U.S. date is not confirmed for the game, all major retailers list it at $39.99, the going price for new 3DS games. But why should I pay that much for what is essentially a bonus mode from older games?

It does include new maps and characters to play around with, but still, its a bonus mode from an older game. I would glady play this game, but its the price that steers me away. Thats actually the case for most 3DS games.

The only two 3DS games I own I did not pay full price for. I had some Best Buy credit which got me Street Fighter for 20$, while Amazon gave me a $25 credit, allowing me to purchase Pilotwings for fifteen bucks. Those are great prices for the games, because in my opinion neither of the two contain enough content to justify $40.

I would gladly pay $20 for The Mercenaries 3D. It also just seems stupid that they'll charge that much for what is essentially a bonus mode, when a full fledged RE title is coming out for the 3DS in the distant future. If that game happens to contain the mercenaries mode in it, along with a long story, then Mercenaries will have seemed even more ridiculous to purchase at full price.

Thats all for now. What do you think about the price of RE: M3D, or just 3DS games in general? Love you.

Just got home and its around midnight. Naturally, I decided to snap some photos of the 3DS next to past Nintendo handhelds and see the differences in size. Here we go!

All my Nintendo portables.

Roughly about the same length and width of the GBC.

GBA felt pretty bulky when I picked it up!

The SP. Still awesome.

Original DS did not age well.

Thick.

Seriously. If you still have it go pick it up. Its huge.

Pretty similar.

Its going to be hard for the 3DS to be better than the DS Lite.

So there you have it. I wasted fifteen minutes taking these magnificent photos. Hope you enjoyed it. Ive seen a lot of mock-ups of the 3DS next to other gadgets but I figured I would still do this. Hope you enjoyed, Love Festivus.
